“For a Memorial to invite second brother to become the heir to the throne to appear at this time, I can’t help but be suspicious.”

Bai Baozhu revealed all her suspicions.

While she was talking, all the food on the table had been finished and Gu Xin was calmly wiping her mouth.

“So, Princess Bao Zhu, you think there is something wrong with the second elder, right?” Gu Xin put down her handkerchief and concluded Bai Baozhu’s words.

“I don’t know.” Bai Baozhu shook her head and was a little confused. maybe someone framed second brother. This person could be Shijie or third brother. Because after the investigation, they are the most likely to benefit in the end.

“What?” Gu Xin was stunned. why would the princess think that? ”

“Your Highness, I don’t know what’s going on. In any case, the atmosphere in the family changed after her father fell sick and said that he was going to invite the heir for Shijie. In the past, we had a very good relationship as siblings. I’m ten years older than Shijie. When I got married, third brother’s daughter was born. My nephews and nephews had a good relationship. After big brother passed away, apart from sadness, everyone’s relationship didn’t change. Until father fell sick and talked about the matter of bestowing the title of heir, it felt like everyone had changed.” Bai Baozhu’s tears flowed down again.

“Princess Baozhu, you think that your brothers and his son are all coveting the crown prince’s position and doing something in secret, right?” Gu Xin said.

“Yes, I am. Father’s death is definitely related to one of them.” Bai Baozhu insisted on her own idea.

“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Princess Bao Zhu to take us to the mourning hall. The one beside me is Zheng Qiu, the coroner of the court of judicial review. There are no grievances in her hands.” Gu Xin nodded her head and introduced Zheng Qiu to Bai Baozhu.

Just now, she only heard the second elder introduce the Bai family and not the people around him.

“May I ask Your Highness if we need to dissect the body to do the autopsy?” Bai Baozhu frowned.

“That’s right. If we can’t determine the cause of Your Highness “death from the surface of the body, we can only dissect it.” Gu Xin said.

“If I can find the real murderer, I’m willing. It’s just that my mother and brothers are hesitating. Bai Baozhu is in a difficult position.

“I’m here on orders. If anyone doesn’t cooperate, I’ll have to invite them to the prison.” Gu Xin said seriously.

Bai Baozhu pursed her lips and did not say anything more.

She brought Gu Xin and the rest to the mourning hall.

The decorations inside the king’s residence were different from the outside. Although no one came to offer their condolences, the mourning hall was set up. After walking closer, there was a strong smell of incense, candles, money, and paper.

At this moment, the fourth master Bai, Bai Jiasheng, and his son Bai Shiqi were guarding the mourning hall. When they saw Bai Baozhu bringing Gu Xin and the rest over, the fourth master Bai stepped forward and bowed, ignoring Bai Baozhu.

“Your Highness, did you bring a coroner with you for the autopsy?” The fourth master asked directly.

“Although Your Highness is a first rank Princess protector of the kingdom, you don’t have this authority! We are willing to cooperate with Your Highness to find out the truth of father’s death, but we brothers will never allow anyone to do anything to father’s body. Even if your Highness is a Princess personally conferred by the Emperor and has a noble status, you can’t ignore our wishes and forcefully conduct an autopsy on my father’s body.” The fourth master was being very direct with his words. We don’t want to.
